On Sept. 12, President Joe Biden signed an executive order to invest inbiotechnology and biomanufacturing innovation to advance health, climate and other matters.But some online claimthe order is linked to something more nefarious.
"The plan is no longer secret. Biden's Sept. 12, 2022 Executive Order declares that Americans must surrender all human rights that stand in the way of transhumanism," reads an Instagram post shared Sept. 18.
The post also claims that clinical trial safety standards and informed consent will be eradicated and thatthe executive order is implementing crimes against humanity"in order to achievethe societal goals of the new world order."
The post generated over 350likes in less than a week.

But the claim is baseless.
Global health and human rights experts told USA TODAY the executive order does not eradicate human rights in any way or even relate to the transhumanism movement. The claim is tied to the baseless new world order conspiracy theory, which USA TODAY has previously debunked.
USA TODAY reached out to the social media user who shared the claim for comment.
The claim is "totally off and not true," Samantha Reposa, a White House spokesperson, told USA TODAY in an email.
There is nothing in Biden'sexecutive order that weakens existing human rights protections in any way,Arthur Applbaum, a professor of democratic values at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, told USA TODAY in an email.
The second sentence of the order says, Central to this policy and its outcomes are principles of equity, ethics, safety, and security, and this is not mere happy talk, Applbaum said. The executive order attends to these considerations throughout.
The order also saysBiden's administration "must ensure that uses of biotechnology and biomanufacturing are ethical and responsible; are centered on a foundation of equity and public good…and are consistent with respect for human rights.
Fact check: Biden's executive order will evaluate concept of a digital currency, not launch it
Transhumanism, which the post invokes, refers to the idea of using permanently integratedtechnology to increase human perception, emotions or intelligence. Biden's order has nothing to do with this concept, Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University, told USA TODAY in an email. He noted the post's claims about human trials are also baseless participants still have a right to informed consent and there remain strong safety standards in clinical trials, Gostin said.
The new world order conspiracy theoryclaims that a cabal of elites are working to implement a government structure that would enslave the global populace and eliminate freedoms, according to the Middleburg Institute of International Studies. USA TODAY has debunked the conspiracy theorys claims before.
The post also ties this conspiracy theory to crimes against humanity, which is defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as a systematic attack directed against any civilian population, according to the United Nations.The order references nothing of the sort.
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Bidens executive order declares that Americans must surrender human rights. The executive order says that central to its objectives are the principles of safety and equity, and thatBiden's administration must ensurethat uses of biotechnology are consistent with respecting human rights. As experts confirm, the order has nothing to do with limiting human rights related to transhumanism or anything else.
